Chapter 13- Demons and Stenches
"DEFOG!!!" Kyra yelled.
"Mud, Mudarc!!" Matt started beating his wings in a circular motion, than spun.
"Wow, that would be perfect as a contest move…" Lilly's eyes were shining.
"You need to get a flying type first, though." Luke bluntly stated.
Soon, the fog dispersed, showing a trail going through, with lights just miles away!
"Woo-who!!! I can't wait to get my next badge!!!" Kyra yelled.
"Kyra seems very…energetic this morning." Neil yawned while rubbing his eyes. "Dunno why…"
=FLASHBACK
Kyra was getting ready to go out where her friends were waiting, when a 14-year-old with messy dark blue hair, glasses and silver-ish eyes walked in.
"Hey, Kyra!"
"Hey, Max! Thanks for all your help, we would have been stuck here forever if you didn't help Matt learn Defog."
"No problem, I just wanted to give you this." Max took out a small leather pouch, attached to it looked like some sort of spritzer.
"What's that?" The girl asked.
"This is a berry pouch, though it may look small, it can hold dozens of berry's that can help you on your journey, even Lilly with her contests if she finds a powder maker…"
"Powder maker?"
"Yeah, in Tyron, you can crush different types of berry's into a type of dust to sprinkle on your pokemon to give them a better shine in there coat or just to make them smell nice, it can be done!"
"Awesome!!"
"Yeah, I put in the usual oran, cheri, pecha, and rawst berries in for you already, but I have some one's I've been breeding…"
Kyra dug her hand into the pouch to come out with a black cherry-shaped fruit.
"That's a diablo berry. It can raise the stats of dark-types and cool-type pokemon in a contest."
The girl then gently put the berry back to dig out another one. This one was green and the shape of a large lima bean.
"Ah, the Gulpin Berry. It is actually called that because the first one was made from fertilizer that was made from…uh, you know…"
Kyra made a face and stuffed it back in.
"Hey, it's still very useful to get a pokemon out of confusion or sleep, and even better for a wake-up tea to start the day!" Max flashed a grin.
"What about this one?" Kyra asked when she fished out another. It was a light-golden color, shaped like a star, like you would expect a papau fruit to look like.
"Ah, my favorite. It's the Hoshi Berry. Full-heals are made from it, and some say that if you share the fruit with someone, your destinies will be entwined forever…"
"Amazing…" Kyra whispered.
"Well, here, see this?" Max held up the spritzer. "People used to have to carry around waterpails, so now, you can used this! The octa-spritzer!"
"How does it work?"
"You just spray the ground, and it works the same as a pail, only you can also work on the leafs or flowers of the berry tree!"
"Thanks so much, Max, you're like the berry-guru!!"
Max blushed a little in embarrassment. "Well, I just know my berries, you need that to be a great chef, or even a great trainer! Now, use them well!"
"Will do!!!"
=END FLASHBACK=
"And I will…" Kyra smirked, then started to skip through the forest, Kat, nicely brushed this morning with her gingery fur glossy, was also skipping beside her trainer, that is until…
Kat's nose caught a whiff of something fowl…
"Kit…sui…" Kat fell over, eyes glazed.
"Kat! What's-HOLY HEATRAN!!!" Kyra covered her nose when she herself smelled the stench.
"Kyra, what's-oh Phoebian-almighty!" Neil yelled when he plugged his own nose.
"What is that smell!?" Lilly yelled.
Just coming out of the bushes was what appeared to be a large brown snail shell, with the back sharp spikes that the smell was coming from, a tail sticking out from the back. Kyra thought she might have seen a flash of evil red from underneath the front of the shell.
"That's where the stink's coming from!!!" Luke yelled.
"What is it…"
Kyra took out her pokedex.
Mollusca, the poison snail Pokemon. Other than it's tail, this pokemon always stays inside it's shell. Occasionally one would see eye's staring out of the shell, which means Mollusca is on the hunt.
The stats said it was uncommon, only showing where several other bug-types dwelled, and that it was a poison type.
"I saw the eyes, so it's hunting?!"
"What for?" Lilly stuttered.
The shell, with surprising speed turned their way and started heading in their direction.
"I don't think we want to stick around to find out!!!" Neil yelled, while they all rushed up a tree.
"Oh great, I can't wait 'till we get out of this stupid forest! There's to many damn bugs!!" Luke yelled.
"Actually, Mollusca's are mollusks, not-" Lilly started…
Before Luke gave her a death-glare.
"I'll be quiet now." Lilly surrendered.
"Well, bug or mollusk! We have to defeat it!!" Kyra took out one of her pokeballs.
"I'll assist." Neil also took out a pokeball.
"Matt! Time to fight bug against-"
"Mollusk!"
"Whatever!"
"Mari! Time to show your stuff!" Neil yelled as he threw his pokeball, a ponyta-like pokemon appeared. It was golden with a mane of white that appeared sparks were coming from it; it's tail appearing to be a bunch of thunderbolts.
Electrico. The Thunder Pony Pokemon. Its mane contains the power of 10-100 volts, but it won't harm people Electrico likes.
"Thundershock, Mari!!"
The pony neighed and sent out the electric attack, though it only appeared to anger the snail.
"Confusion, Matt!" Kyra yelled.
Matt started to dance around Mollusca, just out of reach for it to do anything, making it disoriented…
"Now! Static Cling!!!"
(Static Cling is my own made-up move, it has the abilities of paralysis, but instead of just immobilizing the foe, it also sends a jolt of electricity every turn it's effective.)
"Moollll!!!!!" The snail groaned in pain, the stench was getting unbearable, and than from underneath the shell a huge smoke shot out, covering the area in darkness!
"Ack!!! What is this?!" Kyra yelled.
"Smog!!! Cover your eyes!!!" Neil said as he threw his arm around his and Kyra's eyes.
"Matt! Defog this smog!!!"
"Toxic!!"
"What?!" Neil and Kyra yelled.
"Who is that?!" Lilly yelled.
Once the smog dispersed, a figure appeared next from the trees…
"Oh man!! Another pokemon?!" Lilly groaned.
"WHO YOU CALLIN' A POKEMON FLOWER-POWER?!?"
The figure revealed itself to be a boy around eleven year's old. He had Silver hair and gray eyes, his outfit consisted of a camouflage shirt and pants, his feet, however, were barefoot, and covered with mud from the ground and trees. "And also, my name is Rio Garcia! R-I-O! Got it memorized?"
(Ehehehe…sorry, had to add the Axel bit in their…XD)
"Yeah, we do, is that foul-smell coming from YOUR pokemon?" Neil growled.
"Who wants to know?" The boy smirked.
Neil's eye started to twitch.
"Wait! Just, please call off your Mollusca? We're just trying to get to Chi Town…" Lilly sweat dropped.
"Hmm…I want Lusca to have some fun first…" Rio turned back to Neil. "If you beat me in battle, I'll get out of the way, if not, you have to pay a fine!!!"
"How much?"
"All the money you have." Rio winked.
"What?! That's not fair!!!" Kyra yelled.
"Kyra, go over to your brother and Lilly, I can handle this little 'demon-boy'..." Neil said.
"But-"
Neil flashed a smile. "The sooner we get to Chi Town, the sooner you can have you're next badge!"
"*Huff* Fine, just be careful, Neil." Kyra warned.
"No problem…"
We leave our heroes battling against the mischievous Rio. Will Neil win his battle? Will our heroes ever get to Chi Town?

TYRON LEAGUE CHALLENGE!!!
"Again with the dumb narrator!?" Luke yells.
